I'm running vm 7.17 and I want it to talk to a local imap server. I
have the following in ~/.vm:
(setf vm-imap-server-list '("imap:localhost:143:inbox:login:me:*"))
where 'me' is actually my username.
When I do vm-visit-imap-folder, two odd things happen, one minor, one
major:
- The minor problem is that tab and ? are broken if there's more than
one matching item for whatever I've typed so far. In that case it
says 'arithmetic error' in the mini-buffer. If the entry so far is
unique, tab and ? work as usual. The mouse-driven folder selector
shows the same behavior.
- The major problem is that once I successfully select a folder, vm
always lists 0 messages. Other imap clients handle these folders
properly. Likewise, if I visit the file directly, with
vm-visit-folder (it's a local file, so I can do this), everything
works as it should. I need to use the imap interface rather than
direct visiting because the underlying files may be modified behind
vm's back (in particular by procmail).
How can get this working? I really don't want to have to learn
pine...
Thanks -
